Yum is still Broken.
Synaptic appears to work OK
I install smart using synaptic; try to run it and get:
[root localhost ~]# smart
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/smart", line 27, in ?
from smart import init, initDistro, initPlugins, initPsyco
ImportError: No module named smart
Is there any way I can get smart or Yum to work without having to reinstall?
thank you in advance for any advice as to what I could try,

cheers Todd, for the help. I've got quite a few astronomy programs
installed, some of which i received help in building, and so i'm
hoping to pursue it a little more.
I installed python in the default diretory. I didn't use the --prefix
option in the compilation.
Here's what I get when I try to run rpm with --verify
[root localhost ~]# rpm --verify rpm-python
[root localhost ~]# rpm --verify yum
[root localhost ~]# rpm --verify python
